Do I need hand therapy if I have surgery?

In brief:
Depends

This may depend on what kind of surgery you have and how stiff your fingers and wrist are.

Oftentimes, you will be given a set of exercises by your surgeon, which may be enough. However, if you are not making progress, or are having a lot of pain or swelling, your surgeon may have you see a hand therapist.
